"...what was written on the card gave me a new strength to fight the odds."
I remember my first year of starting my clothing boutique.
It was four years ago, but I still remember a lot from that time.
- I had a loan that I had taken to start my business.
- I was struggling to get enough customers.
- I wasn't making any profit.
Every month I had to put money from my pocket to keep the boutique running.
- Then came the lowest point.
- I received a huge order that I had to complete by a certain date.
- And...one week before the due date, my embroidery man left the job.
Where was I going to find a new person to do the job?
- I only had one week.
- I was certain to lose the order and probably my business too.
That evening when I was sitting in my boutique, thinking its all over, my eyes fell on a greeting card that I had received on the opening of my boutique.
What was written on the card gave me a new strength to fight the odds.
- It said, "Follow your dreams with faith in yourself. There's nothing you can't achieve, all you have to do, is remain steadfast and believe."
I did need to believe in myself.
- Next day, I found a guy to do the work on a contract basis.
- I finished my order on time.
My boutique is doing very well today.
- Thanks to some inspirational words.
- I have framed those words and read them everyday.
